Starburst Sayings and Hardwood

I am not usually fond of background stamps, mostly because I have a hard time getting a crisp image with them.  But...I love this Hardwood stamp from the Occasions catalog.  This was my first attempt and it is lovely!  

Recipe:

Stamps:  Starburst Sayings

Ink:  Baked Brown Sugar, Pool Party

Paper:  Tangerine Tango, Baked Brown Sugar card stock;Retro Fresh DSP

Accessories:  Starburst Framelit dies,Banner dies, Edgelit die, Vintage Faceted Designer buttons, Linen Thread

Sadie had to make a Valentine box for school and of course it had to be a Minion.  She used the Banner Punch for teeth, the eye is an empty button container and she wrapped a strip of Silver Foil Paper around it.  The mouth is cut out and that will be the opening for the Valentines.  She was so proud of it!

Owl Valentines

I haven't used my Milk Carton die in a very long time but when a customer wanted some Valentine treats made using it, I dusted it off and made a few.  She also requested the owl punch.

She didn't care what papers I used so I used up some retired DSP.  Thanks for stopping by!

Minion Army

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!  I didn't get a chance to post anything all weekend, we were very busy with the kids and my husband hasn't felt well so he has been unable to help with them.  I don't realize just how much he helps until he isn't able to, with a three and a four year old it takes an army to keep them going.  I made this army of minions for a customer, forty in all!  Now I have to make 25 more since this is also what Sadie is taking as her Valentine treat for her classmates.  The good thing is that they are quick and easy to make.

So Sorry

Sympathy cards are the hardest for me to make and to send but having received them when experiencing loss I know how much they mean to the recipient.  I combined two stamp sets to make this CAS card which we made at my last Stamp a Stack.

We are still out of school for weather again today, my kids are very bored.  I have managed to get several things out of the way such as hair cuts and eye appointments that are usually hard to schedule around school hours.

Happy Birthday Cupcake

This is one of the cards we made at Technique class, our technique was folds.  This fold has a little pop up section where I added the scalloped circle and the cupcake.  To hold the top flap down we added a punched cupcake on a dimensional.

I made two and reversed the DSP on this one and left off the embossing on the flap.  Thanks for stopping by!

Make a Wish

I am sooooo ready for Spring, this has been a very difficult Winter.  The kids are out of school again today.  I  have had this candle wheel since it came out but am not really fond of wheels so I unmounted it and cut it into pieces which makes it easier to get a crisp image.

Happy Birthday to You!

I have seen these pop up box cards all over Pinterest and found the tutorial on Splitcoast.  I made it a week ago but didn't want to spoil the surprise for the person I sent it to.  She has received hers so now I can share, Happy Birthday Jamie!  Thanks for stopping by!

Thinking of You

I had my Stamp a Stack class yesterday, we made twenty cards(ten designs, two of each).  I really enjoy getting together with these ladies.  All the cards were a clean and simple(CAS) design.  Hope you are enjoying the weekend.

Baby Girl

Hope your Saturday is wonderful!  Today I have a baby girl card to share.  I am off to a busy fun filled day with the kiddos.
